It’s been awhile since I posted some of the fabulous Dresden Neighborhood quilts others have been making. Since I saw some great Halloween themed ones I thought today would be a perfect day to post some pictures and links!

First up – a Creepy Bunny pictured with a Ghostly Dresden Neighborhood made by Carol Swift of Just Let Me Quilt.

ThatsSewKathy has made a great start on her Halloween themed Dresden Neighborhood too!

I think it’s safe to say that Julie Youngblood is digging these Dresden Neighborhoods. Above his her Halloween themed one

and here is a fun, whimsical, everyday neighborhood! I truly can’t describe how cool it is to see how everyone creates differently from a pattern you came up with. It’s seriously just surreal.

I absolutely love the drama in this black, white and red Dresden Neighborhood by sewandisew!

And I know today is Halloween but we all know that tomorrow we’re all going to start thinking about Christmas and things we need to get done. Wouldn’t a Dresden Neighborhood mini quilt be just a perfect gift!?

I adore this fall themed Neighborhood! Some of the house wedges were turned into trees – ADORE!!!!

And check out this stunning, dramatic Christmas Neighborhood!!!!! It’s incredible! The Dresden Santa Laser Cut Out is currently sold out at Quilted Works but keep your eye on their for more – this is such a great addition!

Are you inspired too!? Get your very own pdf version of my original Dresden Neighborhood pattern HERE.

There are a couple of different fun quilt along’s happening with the Fat Quarter Shop that I’m joining in on.

Table Runner Bliss Sew Along

The first is Table Runner Bliss. This quilt along is already onto week 6! Be sure to check out the great table runner’s already created and follow along with what’s coming next. I’m going to be sharing with you my creation on the final week of this quilt along the first week in November.

The top is almost pieced (and I used a pretty epic fabric combination … shocking I know) and then I’ll get to the quilting. I may even have this actually finished for the deadline instead of just the top!

Some of the fabrics I chose for my table runner are still available if you’re interested:

Spelling Bee Sew Along

The second is a long running one – the Spelling Bee Sew Along featuring the Spelling Bee Book!

This one goes for almost 10 months! I don’t share my blocks until January and April but I think I’ll have to make a few or 10 before then. I need to decide on exactly what fabrics I’m going to use and my end goal plan but this should be a fun one to join in!

I’m late again! So sorry everyone! Apple season is in full force which is why I made my blocks before it started … I should have also pre-blogged about it! So … today I’m finally here to share with you my next block for the Fat Quarter Shop “Bella Skill Builder.”

Month 9 already! For this month, you will need the Lazy Angle Ruler to complete your Bella Skillbuilder block!

I chose some of the bella solid bundle stash to create my Lazy Pinwheel blocks. I tried to pull some fabrics that I notice weren’t used very much yet and needed to pulled into the quilt more. The pattern calls for some unusual block sizes so be sure to pay attention to what you need.

Now head on over to the Jolly Jabber to see what other bloggers and quilters are doing with their Bella Sampler Quilts! It’s so fun to see all the different versions!
